Tires are like the Eraser on a pencil.
They are designed to get a grip, stop safely and cushion the ride between you and the road.
Tires are designed to wear out, that is their function.
Tires are rated and here is what to look for when buying.
On the side of every tire is a Treadwear rate usually between 300- 600
300 being the lowest rating means it wears out quicker and 600 meaning it will last the longest.
Any tire with a Treadwear rating around 420 -500 is a good buy, it will last between 30,000 miles to 40,000 miles on average. The tire below is rated at 440 and is priced at about $85.
TEMPERATURE Rating = A B or C meaning a tire with a Temperature rate of A indicates it begins getting a grip quicker when ice cold to normal within minutes of driving.
TRACTION = A B or C meaning a tire gets a grip sooner with an A or B than a C.
B is a good combo because it means the tire will last longer. I would stay away from C.
Do Not buy tires based on just Price. Buying a 300-c-c- rated tire will not last, ask the question. What is this tires rating?
